Abstract

A vehicle wheel including a rim, a medial flange, a lateral flange, and an inner surface of the rim, wherein an extension portion of the inner surface extends beyond the medial flange.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vehicle wheel of the type upon which a tire is mounted, the vehicle wheel comprising:
 a rim body;   a medial flange and a lateral flange together adapted to mount the tire to the rim body; and   a rim extension adapted to extend medially from the rim body beyond the medial flange.   
   
   
       2 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the rim body and the rim extension are integral to one another. 
   
   
       3 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the rim body and the rim extension are separate components. 
   
   
       4 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 1 , further comprising a wheel face. 
   
   
       5 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 4 , wherein the wheel face attaches to the rim extension. 
   
   
       6 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 4 , wherein the wheel face attaches to the rim body. 
   
   
       7 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 1 , further comprising a lip that extends radially inward from the rim extension. 
   
   
       8 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 7 , wherein the lip and the rim extension are integral to one another. 
   
   
       9 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 7 , wherein the lip and the rim extension are separate components. 
   
   
       10 . A vehicle wheel, of the type upon which a tire is mounted, the vehicle wheel comprising:
 a rim body;   a medial flange and a lateral flange together adapted to mount the tire to the rim body;   a wheel face comprising at least one spoke; and   a rim extension adapted to extend medially from the rim body beyond the medial flange.   
   
   
       11 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , wherein the rim body and the rim extension are integral to one another. 
   
   
       12 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , wherein the rim body and the rim extension are separate components. 
   
   
       13 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , wherein the spoke attaches to the rim body at the rim extension. 
   
   
       14 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , wherein multiple spokes attach to the rim body at the rim extension. 
   
   
       15 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , wherein the wheel face attaches via at least one spoke to the rim extension and at least one spoke to the rim body. 
   
   
       16 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , further comprising a lip that extends radially inward from the rim extension. 
   
   
       17 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 10 , the rim extension extends from about ⅛ inch to about 6 inches medially beyond the medial flange. 
   
   
       18 . A vehicle wheel of the type upon which a tire is mounted, the vehicle wheel comprising:
 a rim body;   a medial flange and a lateral flange together adapted to mount the tire to the rim body;   a rim extension adapted to extend medially from the rim body beyond the medial flange; and   a wheel face that attaches to the rim extension.   
   
   
       19 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 18 , wherein the wheel face comprises a plurality of spokes. 
   
   
       20 . The vehicle wheel of  claim 19 , wherein the plurality of spokes attaches to the rim extension.
